About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. My research examines the power, politics and economics shaping environmental policy outcomes at global, national and subnational scales.
Before joining uOttawa, I held a tenure-track position at the University of Victoria and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Toronto. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University.
I am a co-director for Climate Change and Security with the federally-funded research network Réseau d’analyse stratégique (RAS). I was also the 2022 Chair of the Women & Inclusivity in Sustainable Energy Research (WISER) Network.
